"The first people to commit stock market fraud over the Internet weren’t criminals," according to press notes. "They were teenagers. Inspired by real-life events, Hello Out There is a new musical comedy that follows three unlikely friends who launch a scheme on the stock market using the newly-created World Wide Web. Two-hundred fifty thousand dollars later, the S.E.C. shows up and all hell breaks loose. This coming-of-age story begs the question, 'If Wall Street hotshots can act like greedy children, why can’t children act like Wall Street hotshots?'"
The Peter Jay Sharp Theatre at Playwrights Horizons is located at 416 West 42nd Street. Interested industry members should contact HelloReadingMarch@gmail.com.
